Please provide contact details of referees in respect of these examples and please note that HITRANS/THC reserves the right to contact these referees. HITRANS/THC will assess these examples on a pass/ fail basis - if HITRANS/THC considers that the previous examples demonstrate the tenderer's ability to meet HITRANS/THC' requirements in relation to the Bus Stop Pole, Display and Flag project, the Tenderer will be deemed to \"pass\" and the Tenderer's response will be assessed. HITRANS/THC will exclude a Tender (a) if the referees are received after the Tender deadline and / or (b) if the referee is unable to confirm that the Tenderer has supplied, installed and commissioned bus stop infrastructure within the last three years, including the elements listed above. Examples must include details of your technical ability to meet the requirements of the proposed services to include, as a minimum: o Supply and installation of Smart Bus Stop Units comprising: o bus stop poles (76mm, modern extruded design) with integrated, tamper-proof NFC tags and capacity to house a suitable bracket for future installation of RTPI display; o bus stop caps; o banding and flags; o timetable cases/caps; o back plates; o roundels and vinyls; o The capacity to incorporate QR codes and funders' logos (attached to this ITT in .jpg format) into the design of the Unit; o Installed and constructed civils (ground works) on the road/carriageway; o Evidence that installations and commissioning will be carried out by competent site employees who hold the relevant site working certificates and qualifications e.g. NRSWA Streetworks/ Transport (Scotland) Act 2005 and are permitted to work on the road; o Documented Quality Management procedures; o Statement of the usual manpower and number of managerial staff available to support and maintain this contract; and o Statement of the tools, plant and technical equipment available for carrying out this contract.
